Chapter 112: Encounter

Su Wan certainly couldn't refuse the love from her brothers. She felt as happy as if she had eaten honey, but she couldn't hold it anymore:

"Second brother, fourth brother, please help me get it first. I'll find something to put the pearl flower in!"

As he was speaking, a red wooden box was handed to him. Su Wan turned around and saw that it was Jiang Yu.

"What is this?" Su Wan asked in confusion.

Seeing that her hands were busy, Jiang Yu opened the box and saw a beautiful purple jade hibiscus hairpin inside. Mother Su couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaimed:

"Isn't this too expensive?"

"There's an archery competition up ahead, and I thought this one was a good prize, so I won it for you. Didn't you say you liked Furong? Here it is for you."

Jiang Yu's excuse was quite plausible. In fact, he had just seen the hairpin in a jewelry store. It was the Lantern Festival and there were lucky numbers everywhere. Even if he bought it, he had a reason to say that he had won it.

Su Wan was a little conflicted. She didn't know whether she should accept it or not. After all, it was made of purple jade and was very expensive. Even if she bought it for free, she would feel embarrassed...

"I'll try it wherever it is!"

As soon as Su Chen heard about archery, he became interested.

"Uh... it should be over..." Jiang Yu was vague because he was making it up.

"Really? That's such a pity!" Su Chen scratched his head, feeling a little regretful.

Su Mu was holding a rabbit lantern in his hand, folding his arms and looking at Jiang Yu from the side. He had a slightly suspicious expression on his face and was just bumped into by Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu quickly looked away, thinking, why was he so panicked? He looked so guilty. He actually bought it because he thought it was suitable. That's right, that's it!

"It's too expensive. I don't want it. You've treated us to good food and accommodation, and bought us beautiful clothes. You've done enough..."

Su Wan wanted to refuse politely, but the hairpin had already been pinned on her hair by Jiang Yu. She was wearing a tasseled hairpin and a hairpin, which was too strange.

"There's no use for me to keep it. You know, my mother died early, and I have nowhere to give this hairpin to!" Jiang Yu was wearing a fang mask. His tone was so calm when he said this, and no expression could be seen on his face.

Su Wan suddenly felt reluctant to refuse him, so she silently took off the hairpin and put it back into the box, stuffing her own pearl flowers into it.

That’s great. I was just worried about not being able to find a box to put the beads in.

"Then I won't be polite..." Su Wan replied awkwardly. Jiang Yu didn't say anything, just nodded, and watched Su Wan happily accept the rabbit lanterns and flower lanterns given by his second and fourth brothers.

Seeing this, Su's mother deliberately joked:

"Oh, everyone only remembers their sister and forgets me as their mother. What will I do if they all get married in the future?"

The three brothers felt uneasy when they heard this, and said in unison:

"Mom, I'll buy you whatever you like!"

Mother Su covered her mouth and laughed, waving her hands:

"Okay, I was just teasing you guys. I feel relieved to see that you two have such a good relationship as siblings."

As soon as the words fell, Father Su's voice sounded from behind:

"A Xiu, look, I also guessed a lantern riddle and won a lantern."

Father Su handed the lantern to Mother Su like a treasure, looking for praise:

"I give it to you. Do you like it?"

In front of the children, the old couple was still doing these things. Mother Su blushed with shame, snatched the lantern away, and glared at him:

"Old couple, be serious!"

"Why is it so inappropriate? It's only for young people to play, but we old people can't?"

Su Wan was almost going crazy and stood beside him with a smile on her face.

Su Yi followed behind his father, holding a small white porcelain box in his hand, ready to give it to Su Wan as a New Year's gift. The riddle he had just guessed was snatched away by his father, so he had to buy something else as a gift. When he saw the two lanterns in her hands, he was glad that his father had snatched away his lanterns.

"Dad, Mom, brothers, why are you also in the state capital?"

Another unexpected girl's voice was heard. Everyone looked back and found that it was Gu Yue, with Chen Yinghong beside her.

The Su family was quite surprised to see her, but Su Wan was not too surprised, because in the original novel, tonight was the famous scene where the male and female protagonists met.

Gu Yue used her intelligence to solve several problems in succession and won applause from the whole audience, because one had to pass six levels in a row to get the prize. However, when Gu Yue was solving the sixth problem, she encountered a bottleneck. The male protagonist watched the whole process and was attracted by her intelligence. He helped her solve the sixth problem. The prize was a Hetian jade bracelet, which was of average quality, but it became a token of their love.

The male protagonist put the bracelet on her personally, and tonight, Gu Yue will be kidnapped and then rescued by the male protagonist, and from then on, an unbreakable bond between the two will begin.

Su Wan saw that she was indeed wearing a Hetian jade bracelet on her arm, and it seemed that they had met before.

But she didn't expect that even in such a big state, she would still meet Gu Yue. What she is worried about now is whether the plot will change because of their appearance?

In the original novel, there are no Su family members and no second male lead in this section.

Su Wan noticed that Jiang Yu turned his head to look at Gu Yue almost the moment he heard her voice, and his gaze lingered on her face for several seconds.

Su Wan felt a little uncomfortable. Even if Jiang Yu's savior became her now, would it not change the result that he would be tied to Gu Yue?

For some reason, she felt a little sour in her heart, inexplicably sour. In front of the powerful halo of the protagonist, everyone else can only be a supporting role.

"Yueyue, it's really you!" Mother Su was still very excited to see her, and reached out to hold her hand, but she immediately realized that her own daughter was still by her side, so she turned around and held Su Wan's hand in her palm.

Her action warmed Su Wan's heart. Is there finally someone in this world who cares about her emotions?

At the same time, Gu Yue's expression also changed. Seeing that her former mother and Su Wan had such a close relationship, she couldn't hide her loss.

"It's me. I came with my parents to see the Lantern Festival today. I didn't expect to meet them and my brothers. You all look so beautifully dressed today."

Although the fabrics of their clothes were not the best, they were all dressed so well, especially the hairpin on Su Wan's head, which looked even better than hers.

So, since the exchange, the Su family's life has been getting better and better? Even after Su Wan left the Gu family, she still lived a carefree and comfortable life.

"Yueyue, you look beautiful today too!" Su Yun smiled happily when he saw Gu Yue. After all, she was his sister whom he had loved since childhood. Even though she was not his biological daughter, he still remembered the affection they had shown him over the years.

Gu Yue then noticed Su Yun and gave him a rather sweet smile:

"Thank you for the compliment, Fourth Brother!"
